I'm retired military and a big lover of Chess. Garry Kasparov is my hero in Chess. I only wish I could play like him. I learned to play Chess late in life on a Apple IIGS using the program (Chessmaster 2100) back in 1988. I now use an iMac, iPad, and my iPhone 6 plus, to play Chess on. The only thing I can guarantee is that I'll put up a good fight...
